Reviews of Pilkington windshield

Pilkington glass has never let me down, except their distribution centers. A bit of the best and the worst bundled into one name.

Just had OEM Pilkington glass installed on our Honda and it has a mean wave towards the far right edge of the glass. Luckily it’s there and not in the middle.

Pilkington has been slacking lately. They usually are great

I've had good luck with Pilkington.

We replaced our entire front windshield a few months ago after a rock cracked it on the road. We made sure it was OEM (Pilkington) and the calibration was completed. The shop ordered the windshield from a local Toyota dealership they work with. Process was fast and quick. Took about a few days (2-3) for the windshield to come in and even after it came, they didn’t like it due to some blemishes on the window so they re-ordered another one. Installation took about > 1 hour and is 100% exactly as the original one.

340 for a Pilkington windshield. ADAS was $180 on a 2019 Pilot EX-L. Works fine.

We have replaced the windshields in both the Tacoma and Highlander with Safelite 'Pilkington' OE equivalent glass. All safety features work just as expected.

I used Safelite for a windshield replacement on my 2016 340i last year and they did a perfect job. They used the same glass manufacturer as BMW - Pilkington. BMW doesn't make glass. HUD and rain sensor were perfectly calibrated. No issues whatsoever.

My wife had to have the windshield changed on her 2024 after a fairly minor rock chip spread into a substantial crack overnight. The OEM on her CR-V is Pilkington, who supplies a lot of auto glass industry-wide. Our insurance didn't allow for OEM glass, so we just made sure the glass shop used Pilkington. The aftermarket windshield hasn't cracked yet, but within a few weeks, another rock hit left a series of defects in the glass (not really chips, but very superficial nicks). Guessing Pilkington just isn't producing a particularly good product, whether it's white label for Honda/Acura or as an aftermarket supplier.

I like Pilkington so much more than Fuyao. I requested Pilkington last time I got my windshield replaced.
